I sold my 09 focus 1.8TDCI recently. It had 356k km on the clock. I bought it in 2013 with 104k km on it. The only reason I sold it is it was due a timing belt change which is a main dealer bill of €1000. First day suspension is still on it. For the first four years of my ownership, it didn't need anything doing to it for the test. For the next 3 tests, €1000 would cover the costs for the three of them, the biggest item being replacing of the brake discs.
A neighbour bought it. He told me today that it passed the test again during the past week, a wheel bearing, a drop link and 2 other rubbers is what he put in to it. He's going to take out the engine to do the belt.
It just goes to show how one can be lucky with a vehicle.
